Conidiogenous cells varied in form, often polyblastic, often ± globose, smooth or echinulate, dark brown and thick-walled. Conidia dry, formed singly or in simple or branched chains and frequently simultaneously from multiple fertile loci, cylindrical to cylindric-fusiform with rounded ends, usually with multiple strongly constricted septa, olivaceous or brown, smooth, verruculose or minutely echinulate.
